Question

【題目】We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know about the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks(網(wǎng)絡(luò)) didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system(系統(tǒng)) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.

At first, the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software(軟件) that made “surfing(瀏覽)” the Internet more convenient (方便).

Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.

【1】The Internet has a history of ______ years.

A. about 40 B. less than 30

C. more than 45 D. nearly 35

【2】Scientists set up a new network system to ______.

A. makespan> the computer cheaper

B. make the system work well

C. make the computer go well

D. develop new softwares

【3】The Internet was widely used in the ______.

A.1960s B.1970s C.1980s D.1990s

【4】The underlined words “get on-line” in Chinese mean ______.

A.上機 B.上網(wǎng) C.接線 D.買電腦

【5】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. In the 1960 s computer network system went wrong easily.

B. Computers are much cheaper than before.

C. Today the Internet is used everywhere.

D. People had enough softwares to get on-line fifteen years ago.

【解析】

試題分析：我們都在忙著談?wù)摵褪褂没ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)，但是我們有多少人知道互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的歷史呢？本文講述了電腦及網(wǎng)絡(luò)的發(fā)展史。

【1】C 推理判斷題。題意：互聯(lián)網(wǎng)有多少年的歷史了？ A. about 40 大約40年；B. less than 30不到30年；C. more than 45超過45年；D. nearly 35將近35年。從文中“the Internet was set up in the 1960s”（互聯(lián)網(wǎng)成立于20世紀(jì)60年代）這句，1960s意思是20世紀(jì)60年代，即1960-1969這十年； 2015-1960＝55，2015-1969＝46，即至少都有46年了，故選C超過45年。

【2】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意：科學(xué)家建立新的網(wǎng)絡(luò)系統(tǒng)是為了什么？A. make the computer cheaper使電腦更便宜； B. make the system work well使系統(tǒng)更好地運行；C. make the computer go well使電腦更好地運行； D. develop new softwares發(fā)展新的軟件。根據(jù)短文第二自然段，建立新的網(wǎng)絡(luò)系統(tǒng)是因為以前的系統(tǒng)在一臺電腦出故障時，整個系統(tǒng)就無法運行。新的網(wǎng)絡(luò)系統(tǒng)就是為了解決這個問題，故選B。

【3】D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意：網(wǎng)絡(luò)被廣泛使用于什么時間？A.1960s；B.1970s；C.1980s；D.1990s。從文中這句“By the start of the 1990s, computers become cheaper and easier to use.”（在20世紀(jì)90年代初以前，電腦更便宜更便于使用了。）可以推測出，這時開始廣泛使用。故選D。

【4】B 詞義猜測題。題意：有下劃線的“get on-line” 的漢語意思是什么？A.上機；B.上網(wǎng)；C.接線；；D.買電腦。句意：今天容易get on-line而且據(jù)說每天數(shù)百萬的人用著互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。容易推測出意思是“上網(wǎng)”。故選B。

【5】D 推理判斷題。下面哪一個不對？A. In the 1960 s computer network system went wrong easily.在19世紀(jì)60年代，電腦系統(tǒng)容易出錯；B. Computers are much cheaper than before.現(xiàn)在電腦比以前便宜多了；C. Today the Internet is used everywhere.現(xiàn)在到處使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)；D. People had enough softwares to get on-line fifteen years ago. 15年前人們有足夠多的上網(wǎng)軟件。從第3自然段最后幾句話可知，在20世紀(jì)90年代，電腦越來越便宜，使用起來越來越方便，而科學(xué)家們也發(fā)明了便于瀏覽網(wǎng)絡(luò)的軟件。說明以前的上網(wǎng)軟件不方便，不多。故D不對。
